Up next in my series of baked vegetable 'fries' is avocado fries and given my obsession with avocados I really cannot believe that it has taken me this long to get around to trying them out as fries! Like the other vegetables fries these avocado fries are super simple to make, you pretty much just need to slice up the avocados, dredge them in flour, dip them in egg and panko and then bake them until nice and golden brown and crispy and good! In total they take less than a half an hour to make so you can easily make them whenever you have a craving for fries or avocados! You might be a little surprised to learn that avocados work really well when cooked or baked and they are especially nice in these fries coated with the crispy panko bread crumbs! I served the baked avocado fries with chipotle ranch and basil ranch sauces for dipping.

these look good, but the next time you deep fry something...get some brussel sprouts and a beer batter. When I was in cooking school my group of 6 spent one day deep frying everything in the cooler in beer batter. Deep fried sprouts was a revelation. That was the last time I tasted them and I still remember how good they were. Holy cow...like 22/23 years ago. I never seem to have sprouts around when deep frying, I always think of them during the clean up.

Anonymous: I use avocados that are just on the ripe side so they are still a bit firm and they easily hold up for double or even triple dipping! Deep frying with a tempura batter would also work and the tempura dipping sauce would be tasty with them! The flavour does change a bit but it is still amazing! Deep frying with the tempura batter would be quicker and have less affect on the flavour. These are definitely worth making! Enjoy!

I love this idea! I don't know why I've never tried it before. Don't you just love panko? You can get all the crispiness of frying but in the oven. Speaking of which, I need to buy a box at the grocery store this week. Thanks for the reminder!

Oh my gosh! When we get that "cloning" thing down pat, I'm putting my order in for two or three of you! Never in my life would I have thought of avocado fries! I was "sold" with the asparagus fries, but I'm totally under your spell now!

Good thing this section is called "Comments," because out of 49 posts, I could only see one or two people who actually tried the recipe. Mostly they were anticipatory remarks about how good it looks, or how it will be tried soon. I wonder how many people do actually try the recipe, since so few of the comment writers come back with constructive/helpful reviews....

Bad thing for me is that I do read this stuff mainly for feedback that is more like a review, such as "add garlic" or "increase/decrease amount of x," etc.

Oh well, since I am so in the minority about this, maybe I'm just missing the point. Oops, bad me, commenting without having tried!

neeruam: I absolutely love it when people that have tried a recipe come back and comment but I also realize that you don't always have the time. I hope that you will come back with reviews if you get the chance to try some of my recipes!

I tried this recipe and the fries themselves didn't have much flavor. They were missing something, and almost tasted stale. The concept is great. I've made deep fried avocado fries before that turned out fantastic, but I think with baking, you need to compensate for fuller flavor.
